Access Montana participates in the Universal Service Fund program which offers reduced rates to low-income subscribers for basic telephone service.  

The Lifeline Assistance Program provides a discount to low-income subscribers on the monthly basic service charge for dial tone. Access Montana's local service receive even further discounts because our service area lies within the confines of the Flathead Indian Reservation
